Time saving tips for this recipe

This is already a quick and easy recipe, but there are a couple of ways to make it even easier.

We made this last week and it was delicious! As we all can’t do food that is spicy we left out the cayenne pepper and it was still wonderful. It honestly tasted so good at first I thought it was real rice not cauliflower rice! We will be making this again!
